Face ID not unlocking locked notes I just went to open an important locked note with face ID and it wouldn’t let me even though the feature is enabled in settings. I put in a password and i don’t member what it is and the hint isn’t helping. i’m really confused because just last week face id worked.

I don’t want Face ID to unlock my notes on iPhone 12 Pro. My passwords note unlocks with Face ID, which I don’t like. I want to only be able to unlock a locked note using the passcode.

Locked notes not prompting Face ID I am locked out of my locked notes in the Notes app. They are stored on my iPhone XR locally and are also not syncing to iCloud. I have restarted my phone, made sure everything is updated to the latest software, and tried a million times to punch in every single option I could have used for this password. I am nearly certain I am using the correct password but it still will not let me in. I have relied on Face ID to get me into these notes and I am no longer being given the prompt for Face ID in either of my locked notes. It works everywhere else on my phone, but not with the locked notes. Doing a factory reset or resetting Face ID will cause that note to become completely disconnected from any authentication system other than the manual password input. I called Apple support and they told me there's nothing they can do to help. There is crucial information that I desperately need in there, if anyone knows anything to do I am desperate at this point.

The Notes password is required from time to time. If you cannot produce the password, you will never be able to open the note.
